[QUOTE="JohnyRingo, post: 2053098, member: 100050"] Not exactly. I shot factory ammo through the rifle when I first bought it to break the rifle in and to accumulate some brass. I noticed that the teflon tips where being damaged in the detachable box magazine from the recoil, so I loaded my first batch of reloads just long enough to fit into the box. This took care of the damaged tips issue. They are still a little long because I have had some feeding issues. I'm at 3.64" and I was going to try 3.63" or 3.62" and reduce the powder charge a little. I started at 65 grains of powder and increased by 0.3 grains until I got to 67.5 grains, which showed the best accuracy and an ES of 26 fps. With my limited knowledge of hand loading, I just assumed that once I found the load that did not increase velocity with a larger powder charge and had a real small ES, then my accuracy would be great. I am wanting better than 1 MOA and I am all ears to messing with the seating depth. [/QUOTE]
